    This is so fucked up.

    We need to use other methods than voting. We are so close to a complete surveillance dystopia in Europe. And it is already really bad.

        Look at the USA, UK or countries like China. I think they’re all ahead if us. Leading in different fields. A skewed balance between capitalism and citizens rights, surveillance in general, and a dystopian surveillance state.

      In Italy we have voted for Ilaria Salis and she has heavy hands that tend to go on the fascists faces lol
